Does the temperature of water change more slowly than the temperature of land?
Yes, water has a higher thermal capacity.
How do nearby bodies of water help keep the climate of certain areas mild?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
What heats more slowly than land?
Water (the oceans).
Does water cool more slowly than land does?
Yes
What is heats and cools more slowly than land?
Water
Why does large bodies of water tend to moderate the climate of nearby land make it warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
Is it true of false that the temperature of water changes more slowly than the temperature of land?
yes
Why can bodies of water create microclimates?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them
Why can bodies of water create microclimimate?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.
Which changes temperature more rapidly land or water?
Land tends to change temperature more rapidly than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity compared to water, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. As a result, land can heat up and cool down more quickly than water.
The range of temperature in coastal areas is lower than areas located farther in land Why is this so?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than land, so it warms up more slowly, and loses heat more slowly.
How does the heat of water help maintain the temperature of earth?
By heating and cooling more slowly than land or air
